Alone at Sea
They say talk about your problems,
Okay, so where should I begin?
I think depression's hittin' me,
I guess it's slowly setting in.
Waking up every day,
It feels so repetitive.
Maybe I need to chill,
I think I need a sedative.
Stresses keep flooding in,
Well-mixed with sentiments.
I need to get my thoughts,
Settled like sediments.
Walking down this road called life, almost blindly
Leaning on a hope, that light'll come and find me,
Sometimes, wishing I could kill myself,
Revive and then just die again
I'm looking at the stars,
Pondering if I could fly with'em.
Already trying my best, but tomorrows are hard to cope,
I'd hang from the clouds, if God throws a rope.
Can't figure out the things for which I've to atone,
Each day makes me feel hollow, maybe demons making their home.
At last, I crawl in the bed, face down.
Is it all in my head? Am I safe now?
The waves rushin' in, I feel so alone at sea.
I'm cavin' in, I just wanna fuckin' breathe.
